Damp & Mould Repairs for Landlords & Letting Agents in Edinburgh
If you are a landlord or letting agent in Edinburgh you will be aware of Awaab's Law that came into force in Scotland on the 6th October. The law states that social and private landlords in Scotland will be required to investigate reports of damp or mould and commence any required repairs within set timescales.
Awaab's Law
Awaab's Law introduces new requirements for landlords when damp or mould is reported in a property. Among other requirements, landlords must arrange for reports of damp or mould to be investigated within set timescales and, where necessary, commence repair work promptly. Importantly, dealing with damp and mould isn't simply about cleaning the visible mould. Where repairs are required, the underlying cause of the problem needs to be properly addressed.
The rules can be complex and individual circumstances will vary, so landlords and letting agents should refer to the full Scottish Government guidance for the latest information.
